The thing is, you listen to a song (or interlude) and think "wow, this is really good work". And then it's just not. It's more of an integrity thing I guess. It would've been different had they actually credited the real composers. But this wasn't tasuku's work.
Well, whatever happened, I don't really care. Sure the song is like a 99.9% - 100% clone, but eh. It's useless to hold a 'grudge' towards tasuku tbh. He produces some good work, and honestly, I don't know if people care in the long run.. after all one of tasuku's previous Ayu-interludes was completely gypped by the Taiwanese trio band "F.I.R" and of course, no one gave a hoot about it.

Not really trying to make any excuses here, but I think that it's something that shouldn't be made a big deal of, but should still be remembered.. it just seems like people are disliking him simply because of some dumb melody that he copied. So what?

EDIT: And suppose people did care.. no one really listens to Hoobastank to begin with. The album that "Don't Tell Me" was on barely scraped past 172,000 in total sales.
